sa国际传媒 Transit and the Victoria Regional Transit Commission are seeking feedback on changes linked to an addition to its RapidBus service.

It plans to add Route 96 Blink, the RapidBus line that the transit organizations said is designed to get riders to their destination between Uptown and the University of Victoria “in the blink of an eye.”

Preparation for the route, which would travel on McKenzie Avenue, includes a survey about potential changes to the following routes:

• Route 24 Cedar Hill/Tillicum Centre

• Route 25 Maplewood/Tillicum Centre

• Route 26 Dockyard/UVic

• Route 72 Swartz Bay/Downtown

Plans have also been developed to introduce a new Route 16 Uptown/UVic that would travel on Cedar Hill Cross Road and a Route 40 Dockyard/UVic that would travel on Admirals and McKenzie.

Public sessions will be held Wednesday from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in front of the library at Esquimalt Town Square, and from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on the Student Union Building side of the UVic Transit Exchange.

A Thursday session is set for 4 to 7 p.m. at Uptown across from Erito Sushi.

An online survey will be available through July 2 at .
